Offit Kurman’s Lauren Jenkins named to Arlington Magazine’s 2025 Top Lawyers List

Offit Kurman is pleased to announce that Lauren A. Jenkins, principal in the firm’s estates and trusts practice group, has been named to Arlington Magazine’s 2025 Top Lawyers list -Trusts and Estates.

Lauren focuses her practice on tax and estate planning, prenuptial and postnuptial agreements, trust and estate administration, and tax compliance in Virginia, Maryland, and the District of Columbia.

This honor is based on the results of a peer survey conducted by Arlington Magazine, in which local attorneys were invited to nominate their peers across 21 practice areas. To ensure balance, participants could recommend attorneys from their own firms only if they also nominated an equal or greater number of attorneys from other firms. The list is limited to attorneys practicing in Arlington County, Fairfax County, the City of Falls Church, and the City of Alexandria. Arlington Magazine administered the survey but was not involved in the selection process.

    Artful Donations: Exploring Museum Exchange
    In this episode of The Legal Canvas, host Caryn Keppler welcomes Robert Wainstein and Michael Darling, co-founders of Museum Exchange, the first digital platform dedicated to facilitating art donations to museums and nonprofit institutions across North America. Together, they explore how technology is transforming the way collectors, artists, estates, and cultural organizations connect through charitable giving. Robert and Michael explain the inspiration behind Museum Exchange, the challenges they set out to solve, and how the platform has grown into a network of more than 400 museums. They walk listeners through the donation process—from evaluating artwork and matching donors with institutions to handling logistics, documentation, and tax considerations. Along the way, they discuss the realities of museum collecting, why many donations are declined, and how thoughtful placements can help preserve artists' legacies while expanding access to important works of art. The conversation also explores Museum Exchange's work with living artists, artist estates, hospitals, universities, and smaller regional museums, as well as the launch of the Charis Foundation for the Arts, a nonprofit designed to steward significant collections before placing them with institutions that can best benefit from them. Robert and Michael conclude by sharing their vision for the future of charitable art transactions and how Museum Exchange is helping reshape philanthropy in the arts for generations to come.
